Will we have a scandal free Tour de France this year?

Question

The 2008 Tour de France starts on Saturday 5th July. Recent years have seen an increase in doping scandals, with 2006 winner Floyd Landis testing positive for testosterone, and many teams being pulled out in 2007 as riders tested positive for banned substances. The 2007 winner Alberto Cantador is unable to defend his title as his new team is banned from this years event.

So can we hope to see a race this year that is scandal free? Or will the problems continue?
